To See, For Me Grace lights a candle and sweetly unplugs the bees whispering in the date palm Hark comes from long ago a word the distance not scuffed even though I have worn out things and have put away others I see they are the same dust covered and the reminder is in the rag filled with potent wiping off like the sky where crunching crows stand on telephone poles and knock nuts again and again until bursting fills the air it is like life to need the changing promise (I said to my heart warn dreary) look breathe open whistle listen you are in time out risk the unlock it is not in buttoning up or unzipping it is unclothing of indigo eye to really see the grace of tree for me [This message has been edited by Martie (11-12-2002 12:52 PM).] |

"it is not in buttoning up or unzipping it is unclothing of indigo eye to really see the grace of tree for me."  BRAVO!!! Oh Martie, this is magnificent, as always your wonderful words have me in awe, it is always worth risking the unlock, for there just isn't enough time to barter crows for ravens in these days! (kiss on cheek) This is a wonderful carpe diem poem, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Martie, each and every time, Every Time! I read you, I want to pull this line then this line then this... and you leave me exhausted in your whirls of thought... just dust me off and put me on your shelf. |

Noah--Yes, you see how it is...thank you! Karilea--You already have a place on my shelf, where you shine! Nancy--Thank you for so many readings and your sweet comment. Ron--The color indigo, is the color of the third eye chakra...the seat of our natural psychic abilities of insight and seeing. It is also the center for intuition, understanding and intellect. Thank you always, my friend, for your comments. |

Love the view thru the indigo eye of your grace.  No one has ever shown me how to see the world the way I see it now ... |
